We also break down OpenAI’s GlazeGate, the update that made ChatGPT way too sycophantic, and why Sam Altman had to roll it back. Plus: new AI video tools from Runway and Higgsfield and a bizarre Reddit experiment where bots convinced real humans to change their minds.

Also: robots walking through the desert, Duolingo’s AI-first strategy (and what it means for your job), and yes… Zuck as a centaur.

ROBOTS ARE IN THE DESERT. ZUCK’S IN YOUR PHONE. IT'S A GOOD SHOW.
